New Draft Complete

Hello There!

I just wanted to pop in and say that I have completed the first draft of what I consider to be the first complete version of this game. I have actually commissioned some playbook art for it, and will continue to tweak and fine tune things while I wait for the art to come back. I know it's been almost a year since I promised and update was coming (time really does fly), but this is a major overhaul. Cap and I are working on proof reading it and finalizing things now.

I'll post a more complete changelog once the new version is released but I'll try to give you the highlights:

• I've fine tuned a lot of the mechanics. There are major changes to Resisting Dark Side, Influence, Take a Padawan, and some minor tweaks to many of the Basic Moves. You no longer gain experience on a miss. You have to rely on end of session reflections, completing missions, and downtime to gain experience. 
• Gear! I had a blast totally rebalancing the gear list. Lots of changes to tags and gear options for the playbooks. Plus there's a system for creating your own gear.
• Playbook adjustments. Lots of improvements to the playbooks, and I think they are all pretty tightly designed now. 
• Downtime Activities is now a much more clear system. Hopefully it will give credits a lot of uses. Still needs more long term playtesting, but the hope is that you won't get to the point where you have too many credits to know what to do with.
• SHIP PLAYBOOKS!!!  When you get your crew's ship, you'll choose a playbook between the Freighter, the Battleship, and the Yacht. Really stoked for y'all to see this.
• The Senate. I have fully written the GM section of the book so it doesn't just kinda trail off like it did before. Lots of advice for preparing missions and stringing those missions together to make epic sagas.
• We're putting together a discord server for folks who like to play Light Side! I'll share the link once the new version is live.

Anyway, thank you all for playing this game. Right now I'm gonna promise I'll have this thing out there by May 4th, but I'll post it much sooner if it all comes together. Ideally I'd like to have this done by February.

May the Force be with you!
